Oh, look! A toddler's journey into the wild world of memory management 🤯. "Baby's Second Garbage Collector"—because every fledgling coder needs a sequel to their first trash can 🗑️. Apparently, this is where your programming skills go to die of boredom. 💀

Ever been told it’s “too late” to start over?
well I heard that too. Then I ignored it.
3 years later, my apps earn real revenue — and I love what I do.
Start small. Stay consistent. Bet on yourself. 💪

Testing the Swift C compatibility with Raylib

Since Ladybird team abandoned their Swift adoption for the browser I heard a lot of criticism about the Swift ecosystem and the interaction between Swift and C/C++ projects. My usage of Swift is mainly for command line tools, recreational programming (like Advent of Code 2023 and previous years) or Metal programming. In my previous experiments I really enjoyed Swift, and actually preferred it to some other programming languages like Rust. However it seems that programmers have wrong opinions about this programming language, especially about its accessibility (no it is not only for Apple platforms) and its actual power wrapping C/C++ libraries.

I’ve recently been reflecting on my journey with NixOS, and it’s been an incredibly challenging experience that has really pushed me to re-evaluate my workflow. While I appreciate the innovative approach to declarative configuration, I’ve found that the steep learning curve and constant troubleshooting just aren't aligned with my current productivity goals. Growth often comes from realizing when a tool isn't the right fit for your mission. #GrowthMindset #TechJourney #Efficiency #DevOps

🚀✨ Behold, the thrilling tale of querying 3 billion vectors—a journey where Vicki Boykis heroically attempts to decode Jeff Dean's cryptic wisdom on #mapreduce. Spoiler: It's basically a nerdy treasure hunt for semantically similar items, but with more floating-point numbers than your brain can handle. 💻🧠
